MARYLAND FARMERS PLUNDERED By THE BOHEMIAN
OATS OPERATORS
A Baltimore special says: There are good rea-
sons for believing that the crooks who operated
the Bohemian oats and other swindles In South
eRn Pennsylvania have crossed over into Mary
land. For a month or so sharpers have been at
work in Carroll and Frederick Counties. In one
section one Of them sold eggs at s. dozen, guar
ant0eing to buy every chicken Matched from
them at $3.50 EACH 1t took the victims some
time to discover that the eggs had been boiled
new trick was successfully played ON an Ordi-
nartly intelligent farmer near Taneytown last
week. Abraham Schr1ner Is his name. Two
smooth. tongued and pious-loOking young men
made bis acquaintance and pretended that they
wanted to buy real estate. After he had pilOted
them around the neighborho0d they said they
were connected with large educational 1nstitu-
ton, In the interest OF which they were travel
ing through the various states employing
financial agents for the college, and sug-
gested that he accept the appointment for
the State OF Maryland The promise of large
salary proved too strong an attraction for Mr..
Shr1ner, and he consented to take the place.
They then said 1t would be necessary for him to
put up 81 200, as he would necessarily handle
large sums OF money and that while they would
be willing to trust him without It, the rule OF the
institution was an invartable one. He informed
them that he had only $3.50, and they said that
rather than see him lose the chance OF obtaining
the position they would advance the balance to
make up the required amount. He went TO town
and drew hts money and turned over his $3.50. The
sharpers got away with 1t.
